How I got here? I was doing a google search and this thread popped up so I thought I would help some people out with questions that I have first hand knowledge of.
There seems to be alot of confusion not too many facts. An alternate moniker of mine is actually referenced in this thread a couple of times (Sometimes with incorrect info as in the powerball reference for ADD).
Give me a shout, I'd be happy to help. Lata, Joel

Haha, not too many hints there. I'm sure there will be many more questions coming your way (probably from me!).

Welcome to the forum Joel!

p.s. any news for the new album with Brendan O'Brien?

Obviously I can't get their tone as I'm not playing nor am I using the exact recording chain.

I'd like to know how Adam or Andy or whoever did the guitars delt with the presence knob on the Cobra. It almost seems as though it's constantly on 10 but as you crank the amp turning the presence up sounds ok and makes it really crunchy (like how some people crank the presence on the 5150).

True. The Framus Cobra was originally going to be used for the whole because Adam really liked it's tone.
Joel dialed in some real mid heavy tones from the Dragon that complemented the tracks a bit more combined with the 5150 for a 90's Carcass Heartwork type of tone.

The Dragon was used for the whole album up until the transformer blew up right before the last song.
Apparently the product of over use. 12 hour a day sessions for a couple months. The Heartache disc 2 tunes like Irreversal and My life for yours were tracked with the amp prior to the breakdown. ROS was a late addition to the album.

The Cobra was used for the track Rose of Sharyn but was EQ'd and post EQ'd in the mix to sound like the Dragon as much as possible.

Yeah, hard to believe he's not the only one huh.

I doubt Stroetzel would refer to himself in the third person, which is seen in numerous Gainzilla posts.

K Odell · February 13th, 2009, 02:37 AM

Its a guy who if recall correctly took some lessons from Joel(KsE). But Joel this guy is awesome and can def answer a lot of the questions we want answered haha. Man that was way confusing.

abyssofdreams · March 7th, 2009, 07:25 PM

Chryst Krispies · April 16th, 2009, 11:00 AM

Anyone know what amps they have been using live lately?

I saw them the other night and they had the best live tone I've ever heard.

Metalus · May 3rd, 2009, 05:11 AM

Scott Splawn recently sent a pair of Nitros to both Adam and Joel so maybe those are the ones theyve been using lately. Im curious to hear if they used them on the new album.

Rex Rocker · May 4th, 2009, 03:54 AM

^I don't think they did... I saw a pic of them using a Triple Recto, a 5150 and a Marshall of some sort, I'll see if I can dig them out somehow.

Here:

Metalus · May 5th, 2009, 05:28 AM

Yeah ive seen those pics before. They prob didnt use them seeing as how Adam and Joel are huge Recto and 5150 fans. Doesnt really matter i guess. Their tone always sounds sick no matter which album. Cant wait to hear the new one

MegaMustaine · May 11th, 2009, 11:18 AM

I REALLY REALLY wish I could find a Rose of Sharyn or something with the tracks split between guitars drums and bass to compare to my own sounds.
